This semester has been much harder then last semester when I took mostly pre-requisites. I have had to adjust to a larger workload and learned more time management skills in order to make the grades I want and to feel in control of my school work. I am really proud of the way my writing skills have improved and my ability to receive constructive criticism. On the first writing assignment, I thought I had done much better work then the grade I received. However, upon reading the comments on my paper, I agreed with all of them and began to understand the grade I got without getting angry or upset. I used those comments and implemented them into my next paper, and did so much better. I also have really come to like peer review. I thought I would hate having other students look at my work and break it down, but I have found it is invaluable to making a good grade on my papers. I am really proud of my work ethic and attitude this semester and hope to keep it up.
